Bacterial Biofilms Utilize an Underlying Extracellular DNA Matrix Structure That Can Be Targeted for Biofilm Resolution
Bacterial biofilms contribute significantly to the antibiotic resistance, pathogenesis, chronicity and recurrence of bacterial infections. Critical to the stability and survival of extant biofilms is the extracellular DNA (eDNA)-dependent matrix which shields the resident bacteria from hostile envir...
